Hygiene at the Butchers....

Recommended Posts

I went to a Farm Shop at the weekend & was suprised that the lady behind the Butchers counter was picking peoples requested meat & sausages with her bare hands, which were covered in rings :shock:

I decided not to buy :roll:

 

Does anyone know if this is in contradiction to hygiene,health & safety laws?

They should be either washing their hands, or using an anti-bacterial gel between each time they handle meat, even of they use plastic sheeting to pick up the meat. And Egluntine is right - only wedding rings should be worn when handling any kind of food, raw or cooked. In fact, most professionals will remove even the wedding ring, becuase things can get trapped between the ring and the finger still.

To right! That's appalling :shock:

 

Clare, it was at Millets farm - do you know it?

I think its over towards your neck of the woods....its certainly towards the Oxford area :D

 

Generally a lovely place, but I KNEW as I saw her handle the sausages that I couldn't possibly feed them to my family :roll:

Yes, Didcot - I remember seeing the towers on the drive over now :roll:

 

Its well worth a visit for the Farm Shop. Its massive & they have a fantastic selection of home grown fruit & veggies, plus a good selection of frozen stuff from the farm too, which you scoop up into bags.

There is a nice hand made cake bit too, & a good Deli where you buy oils & vinegars then they refill the bottles for you.

 

Rosie will love the Christmas bit in the garden centre too ..... my girls did & they are really far too old for that sort of thing :roll::lol:
